A member asked:

After 2 meniscetomys on knee i fell again mri results say lobular contour on lateral meniscus what does this mean? i new tear??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a rheumatologist: This sounds as if you have a more generalized inflammatory arthritis and not just a knee issue. I strongly urge you to see a rheumatologist. The MRI results do not indicate a new tear. Studies have shown that additional knee surgery is not indicated and often will create more problems in the future.
